Summer 2018 Music & Movement Storytime: Week Seven 7/25/18

Last Music & Movement storytime of Summer 2018.  Wow.  To celebrate an awesome session and to make it super fun before our month long break, I added a few extras.  For example, our boat ride today was a bubble boat ride.  I tell you, I bring out my bubble maker, and they go WILD!  Bubbles are awesome though, so I can't really blame them. :)  We also turned parachute time into parachute royale where we bounced some fuzzy friends from our puppet closet.  T-Rex, Cheetah, Monkey, Moose, and Bear all had a turn to jump with the kiddos!  As I was folding up the parachute after our last program, I had the thought that the parachute is the fitted sheet of the storytime world.  Both are so darn tricky to fold the right way!
